Spax International GmbH & Co. Kg is currently active in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The company's portfolio includes 1 pending office action, which is situated within 1 distinct art unit. This concentration indicates a very specific technical focus for the company's current intellectual property efforts at the USPTO, with no divergence into secondary technical fields.
The prosecution of this matter is handled by 1 distinct examiner. MARSH, STEVEN M is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing the 1 pending office action. For the patent practitioner, this means that MARSH, STEVEN M is the exclusive individual responsible for reviewing the company's pending claims. This creates a singular channel for communication and negotiation, avoiding the complexities of managing multiple examiner personalities.
The alignment of the pending workload across a single art unit and examiner reflects a streamlined and highly focused prosecution state. There are no other pending matters to balance, allowing for a dedicated strategy centered on the current application. This administrative simplicity is characteristic of portfolios with limited active filings at the office, where MARSH, STEVEN M manages the only active case.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
